  • Twin Disc, Incorporated, Racine, Wis., has announced new single and dual heavy-duty oil filtration systems that are compatible accessories for use in many types of hydraulic systems as well as with Twin Disc Power-Shift Transmissions and Twin Disc Marine Transmissions. Twin Disc recommends these medium pressure oil filtration systems to ensure proper performance and long component life. They are available in 30 or 60-gpm capacities, with 25-micron (nominal) filter elements.

    Twin Disc Oil Filters for hydraulic oil, lubricating oil and diesel fuel can be integral or remote mounted. The filter systems are easily installed in the field, or can be specified when ordering new transmissions. For optimum efficiency, Twin Disc Model MA-678 or MA-679 differential pressure gauges are recommended to indicate when the easily replaceable filter element should be changed.

    Approved Twin Disc Renewal Parts including filters, filter elements and differential pressure gauges are available from the worldwide network of Twin Disc Authorized Distributors. For more information on Twin Disc's new line of oil filtration systems, request bulletin 600 from Jack N.
